Weird words

Helene Uri

What is a mucofagus? And what does it mean to be an ailurophile? People may think that children don´t like words they do not understand. But weird words are not dangerous. Weird words are fun! In this book you will find 356 strange, funny and mysterious words that pique curiosity and expand your vocabulary. Some of them are old-fashioned, quirky words that maybe your grandmother or grandfather knows. Others have their roots in Greek or Latin and might be scientific, but are just as funny and whimsical. Learning from this book, children can impress the grown ups. Helene Uri is an expert in words, and together with internationally renowned illustrator Kristin Roskifte, she has created this playful, colourful and exuberant celebration of weird words. This is a book for forward thinking parents who want to give their children a head start, and also a perfect gift for children aged 6 years and up. And if you where wondering - a mucofagus is a snot eater. The rest of the answers you will find in the book. A White Raven 2023

Science Madness: Crazy Experiments

Alexander H. Sandtorv

Crazy Experiments is packed full of facts, humorous illustrations, terrifying fascination, experiments you can do at home and fun facts. These are the wildest of all experiments throughout history. They are loud and explosive, crackling and slimy. They are unbelievable, weird and thoughtprovoking. There are experiments with fire (how does one make fireworks or dynamite?), electricity (can ligntning be created in a laboratory?) and medicine (what happens if you let a flea live under your skin for months?). Underneath it all is a fundamental respect and fascination for the inventiveness of humans, and how it drives the world forward. Where had we been without the experiments? Author Alexander guides the reader along the way as a kind of nutty professor who lets anything happen in his laboratory and explains which experiments can be recreated at home.Science Madness is a living, breathing introduction to science and all the crazy stuff which drives the world forward. An original series about all the wild stuff which happens in the name of science.

Disgusting

Alexander H. Sandtorv

Slimy snot, stinky farts, squirting diarrhoea and the sound of a knife scraping a plate. The world is full of disgusting things. But what are some really disgusting things? And why are they disgusting? The reader will find the answers in this book. But it comes with a warning! If you can’t cope with reading about truly disgusting, repulsive, stinky, slimy stuff, you must not buy this book! The book is repulsively illustrated by Linn Eielsen who has clearly channelled her inner stinking and anally fixated nine-year-old. The resulting illustrations are… well… nauseating.

Weird Facts About Europe

Håkon Forfod Sønneland

This is the ultimate guide to weird laws and customs in the different countries of Europe: all the things you’ve ever wondered about, or didn’t even know you were wondering about, when it comes to our neighbour countries. Did you know that the Olympic Games come from Greece? And that all the competitors originally competed naked? Or that chocolate milk was invented by a man in Ireland? Or that in Switzerland you’re not allowed to own just one guinea pig. Håkon Sønnenland calls himself an artist of ideas. That’s probably because he has so many peculiar ideas himself. You can read about some of them in this book. The book has lively illustrations by Jens A. Larsen Aas.
